KVM: arm64: timers: Use CNTPOFF_EL2 to offset the physical timer

With ECV and CNTPOFF_EL2, it is very easy to offer an offset for
the physical timer. So let's do just that.

Nothing can set the offset yet, so this should have no effect
whatsoever (famous last words...).

clocksource/drivers/arm_arch_timer: Use event stream scaling when available

With FEAT_ECV and the 1GHz counter, it is pretty likely that the
event stream divider doesn't fit in the field that holds the
divider value (we only have 4 bits to describe counter bits [15:0]

Thankfully, FEAT_ECV also provides a scaling mechanism to switch
the field to cover counter bits [23:8] instead.

Enable this on arm64 when ECV is available (32bit doesn't have
any detection infrastructure and is unlikely to be run on an
ARMv8.6 system anyway).

clocksource/drivers/arm_arch_timer: Move system register timer programming over to CVAL

In order to cope better with high frequency counters, move the
programming of the timers from the countdown timer (TVAL) over
to the comparator (CVAL).

The programming model is slightly different, as we now need to
read the current counter value to have an absolute deadline
instead of a relative one.

There is a small overhead to this change, which we will address
in the following patches.

clocksource/arm_arch_timer: Store physical timer IRQ number for KVM on VHE

A host running in VHE mode gets the EL2 physical timer as its time
source (accessed using the EL1 sysreg accessors, which get re-directed
to the EL2 sysregs by VHE).

The EL1 physical timer remains unused by the host kernel, allowing us to
pass that on directly to a KVM guest and saves us from emulating this
timer for the guest on VHE systems.

Store the EL1 Physical Timer's IRQ number in
struct arch_timer_kvm_info on VHE systems to allow KVM to use it.

arm64: use WFE for long delays

The current delay implementation uses the yield instruction, which is a
hint that it is beneficial to schedule another thread. As this is a hint,
it may be implemented as a NOP, causing all delays to be busy loops. This
is the case for many existing CPUs.

Taking advantage of the generic timer sending periodic events to all
cores, we can use WFE during delays to reduce power consumption. This is
beneficial only for delays longer than the period of the timer event
stream.

If timer event stream is not enabled, delays will behave as yield/busy
loops.

arm_arch_timer: Expose event stream status

The arch timer configuration for a CPU might get reset after suspending
said CPU.

In order to reliably use the event stream in the kernel (e.g. for delays),
we keep track of the state where we can safely consider the event stream as
properly configured. After writing to cntkctl, we issue an ISB to ensure
that subsequent delay loops can rely on the event stream being enabled.

drivers: clocksource: add support for ARM architected timer event stream

The ARM architected timer can generate events (used for waking up
CPUs executing the wfe instruction) at a frequency represented as a
power-of-2 divisor of the clock rate.

An event stream might be used:
- To implement wfe-based timeouts for userspace locking implementations.
- To impose a timeout on a wfe for safeguarding against any programming
error in case an expected event is not generated.

This patch computes the event stream frequency aiming for a period
of 100us between events. It uses ARM/ARM64 specific backends to configure
and enable the event stream.

clocksource: arch_timer: Add support for memory mapped timers

Add support for the memory mapped timers by filling in the
read/write functions and adding some parsing code. Note that we
only register one clocksource, preferring the cp15 based
clocksource over the mmio one.

To keep things simple we register one global clockevent. This
covers the case of UP and SMP systems with only mmio hardware and
systems where the memory mapped timers are used as the broadcast
timer in low power modes.

The DT binding allows for per-CPU memory mapped timers in case we
want to support that in the future, but the code isn't added
here. We also don't do much for hypervisor support, although it
should be possible to support it by searching for at least two
frames where one frame has the virtual capability and then
updating KVM timers to support it.

clocksource: arch_timer: Make register accessors less error-prone

Using an enum for the register we wish to access allows newer
compilers to determine if we've forgotten a case in our switch
statement. This allows us to remove the BUILD_BUG() instances in
the arm64 port, avoiding problems where optimizations may not
happen.

To try and force better code generation we're currently marking
the accessor functions as inline, but newer compilers can ignore
the inline keyword unless it's marked __always_inline. Luckily on
arm and arm64 inline is __always_inline, but let's make
everything __always_inline to be explicit.

# 0d651e4e 30-Jan-2013 Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com>

clocksource: arch_timer: use virtual counters

Switching between reading the virtual or physical counters is
problematic, as some core code wants a view of time before we're fully
set up. Using a function pointer and switching the source after the
first read can make time appear to go backwards, and having a check in
the read function is an unfortunate block on what we want to be a fast
path.

Instead, this patch makes us always use the virtual counters. If we're a
guest, or don't have hyp mode, we'll use the virtual timers, and as such
don't care about CNTVOFF as long as it doesn't change in such a way as
to make time appear to travel backwards. As the guest will use the
virtual timers, a (potential) KVM host must use the physical timers
(which can wake up the host even if they fire while a guest is
executing), and hence a host must have CNTVOFF set to zero so as to have
a consistent view of time between the physical timers and virtual
counters.

This has a side effect of enabling sched_clock on omap5 and exynos5. There

The core functionality of the arch_timer driver is not directly tied to
anything under arch/arm, and can be split out.

This patch factors out the core of the arch_timer driver, so it can be

that architecture-specific code can interact with the driver without
needing to touch its internals.

The ARM_ARCH_TIMER config variable is moved out to
drivers/clocksource/Kconfig, existing uses in arch/arm are replaced with
HAVE_ARM_ARCH_TIMER, which selects it.
